well, i had a sample of the NOS energy drink at HIN this past summer. unlike all other energy drinks, it actually tasted very good (i hate energy drinks and i never drink them). i was thirsty on my way back home from UPS yesterday, so i stopped in to 7-11 and decided to get one. i finished drinking it around 5:45pm yesterday. i didn't think anything of it because whenever i had energy drinks before, they did absolutely nothing for me. i felt completely normal all night, no jitters, no noticeable amount of extra energy.

the problem is that i stayed up all night and was not even REMOTELY tired until 8:30am today. now i am DEAD. my sleeping schedule will be off for the entire weekend because i have things planned for each day that i can't back out of.

so i guess cliff notes: if you need to be able to stay up all ****ing night long (essay, exam, long drive, PIIHB), NOS energy drink should do the trick.

I've drank it several times. Nothing special about it. Everything in it is right on the can. The difference between it/monster/rockstar/redbull is minimal. Dark coffee ounce for ounce has more caffeine than they do anyways.

Go take the ephedra stuff and then you'll actually have something to warn us about. NOS is nothing special. Had one yesterday actually.

I think some just may be more sensitive to caffeine. Me personally, I drink 3 or more a day. Usually a monster loca moca in the morning at our morning meeting, and then I bust out 2, either monster original, or m-80 for the rest of the day at work. And if I happen to go out that night I drink 2 more random ones usually. I have a resistance against all energy drinks. I only drink them for the taste. Although if there is one thing to be said, I will probably regret this majorly when I hit about 30 or so lol
